IF IT DOESN’T HAVE A TANK, HOW DOES IT WORK?

One of the biggest question property owners have when it comes to installing and using a tankless hot water heater is: how does it work? The key to a tankless system is the heat exchanger, which is the component at the heart of the unit. When you open a hot water tap in your home, two things happen at the same time: the heat exchanger gets hot and the cold water intake allows water to flow into the heat exchanger. Inside the heat exchanger, heat is transferred to the cold water, making it hot, and once the water reaches the pre–set temperature, it flows to your hot water tap. While this may sound like it takes a lot of time, it actually takes mere seconds. The process provides you with hot water on demand, which is why these systems are also called "on demand" systems.

WHAT KINDS OF BENEFITS DO TANKLESS HOT WATER HEATERS OFFER?

Why do so many people make the switch to tankless hot water heaters? Here are some of the reasons:

They are very energy efficient – tankless units only use energy when hot water is needed. This greatly reduces the amount of energy you use to have hot water in your home.

Endless hot water – if you have struggled with running out of hot water due to a too–small hot water heater tank, you won’t have this problem with a tankless unit simply because it can’t run out!

Longer lifespan of equipment – storage tank hot water heaters have an average lifespan of 10–13 years. A tankless hot water heater lasts an average of 20 years.

Our experts work with both electric and gas tankless hot water heaters. If you have been considering the switch to a tankless unit, or have one that needs expert care, call the pros at Embrich Plumbing Co today!
